Harvey Kurtzman was born in Brooklyn in New York City on October 3, 1924, to Jewish immigrants David and Edith Kurtzman. He had one older brother, named Zachary. Little is known of his parents' pre-American life—Kurtzman spoke little of them in interviews. His mother came from أوديسا, and both parents were literate urbanites.
